Junior High Art Club Update!

Grades 5-8 began the month of February creating a beautiful hot air balloon painting using acrylic on canvas. We looked at an aerial view photo of a landscape & discussed how "tints" are created by blending white into a color.

We covered our 16x20" canvases with lots of white acrylic using a wide brush and began to blend one color into our white paint with even horizontal brushstrokes. We gradually blended another color into our sky working our way toward the bottom of the canvas to create a smooth & 'airy' sky.

Most of us began penciling in our hot air balloons in different sizes to show distance. We painted each balloon in monochromatic values to show a highlight and shadow. Here is our progress! We will continue on February 18th to complete all the details...

There are many more still in progress! I am so proud of these talented artists! Amazing work 👍🎨😃✨🎈
